THE MONTHLY MOSQUITO

US private Healthcare Company Handed Over £7 Million

A US healthcare firm praised by Donald Trump has been given £7 million to help the NHS distinguish its most costly patients, and it’s running a nine-month programme to teach managers to classify people according to their risk of illness.

The move has sparked concerns that more could be turned down for ops because of factors like age and weight, and it boosts fears the NHS could be on the table in a trade deal despite Boris Johnson’s claims it’s not for sale.

The settlement was agreed between NHS England and Optum, which assesses patients for America’s privatised insurance led system, and it divides NHS patients into high, medium and low-risk groups and identifies ‘rising risk groups’ such as those at risk of Type 2 diabetes.

The training has been spread out all over the country including Dorset, Berkshire, Lancashire, Cumbria and Leeds, and managers state that it’s helped them allocate resources more efficiently as they attempt to conserve cash amid the historic Tory funding pressure.

But half of the local care groups are now defining who can have a routine procedure such as cataract surgery and hip and knee replacements.

These revelations are the latest in a lengthy list of private sector involvement, and a typical example of our corroding NHS and the possibility of people being shut out of treatment flies in the face of a service based on the belief that everyone’s needs must be met.

But what’s even more terrifying is the notion that this training could be rolled out more extensively and NHS England, including chairman Lord Prior, has held a series of meetings with Optum in recent years.

Well, that didn’t take Boris Johnson long, did it? So, there are lots of reasons he should now stay in hiding until he’s made his money and can retreat to the Caribbean, but still close enough to buy his healthcare in the US.

And is any of this training necessary? Because it should be glaringly evident which patients are high risk, and why is all this money being given for information? Particularly when Boris Johnson promised to keep the NHS a free treatment for all.

It would be pretty straightforward for American companies to provide a consensus for all, because now they’ll have access to medical records, buying trends and social media posts, leading to many not being able to get health cover, or paying through the nose for it.

And now’s the fear of why this information is being paid for, especially if Boris Johnson is going to keep the NHS promise of treating us all. Well, it’s all about taking back control! And that’s not very patriotic handing the contract to an American firm when that money could have created British jobs.

Boris Johnson has always said that the NHS wasn’t for sale, that was Boris Johnson’s own words, which now makes him a deceitful pretentious twit, and to be honest, it’s not for sale, they’re just giving it away – £6 million of NHS taxpayer’s money to do what hospital management and Consultants do already.

They said it wasn’t up for sale but look what happened to British Gas, the railways and Royal Mail, and we’re just lied to time and time again, and all while Boris Johnson thinks that the working class can kiss his backside because he’s got the keys to No 10 at last.

But many might say that doing nothing is bad for us. Well, I hate to burst your bubble but it appears that everything we do is harmful to us in some form or another. Walking or running, breathing (hello pollution).

Too much salt, too much sugar, sleeping too much or not enough, the list goes on because at least every few months there’s at least one story of something to avoid, as big boffins say it’s bad for you.

Boris Johnson will ultimately sell our NHS to the Americans, and the noodles of this country asked for it. Well, now they’ll get it. But we had the greatest health service in the world, and now the simpletons in the United Kingdom will willingly give it away to those American opportunists.

All that I can see now is a rebellion in the United Kingdom because Boris Johnson has effectively corroded our democracy with his utter hogwash, and it seems that now our real master is Donald Trump, so we should get used to this. Can’t wait for those sparkling new blue passports, and was it worth it for a shiny blue passport?

And so it continues, the constant stream of the NHS being sold out to US health firms – some money man in the United States will be making decisions about our health, that’s for sure! And it wouldn’t surprise me if our first contact with our health service will be via Artificial Intelligence because GPs are about to become a thing of the past and surgeons will follow.

And as predicted, the first stage of privatisation begins. Of course, there will be deniers of this, solely because it’s embarrassing for the government, and this will put us at the mercy of Donald Trump who we all know is just like Boris Johnson, or is it the other way round? But either way, they’re both commingled liars.

Private health care will bring even more incomprehensible deaths to the disadvantaged and vulnerable and this is precisely what the millionaires thrive on, and the Tories certainly know how to spend our taxes.

It was nice knowing you NHS, but alas, soon it will be gone, and the only time we will see it again is in history books.

However, we were warned that this might happen and no one objected.

But the consensus seems to be that if you’re overweight, smoke or drink too much, what’s the point of wasting money treating you, but then we have all that genetically modified food, which has been extensively publicised as a way to feed the world, but could eating it just make our eating problems worse?

Since it has been shown GMOs don’t increase yields or make food more nutritious, and might even contain higher deposits of dangerous pesticides, but in light of a list of studies, showing that progress towards tackling obesity around the globe has been unacceptably slow and that in less than a generation, rates of childhood obesity has grown dramatically worldwide.

People don’t eat GMO food and even in countries where GMOs are everywhere, it’s rare that customers walk into a shop and buy GMO ears of corn or soya beans. Instead, GMOs are turned into ingredients for highly processed ready meals, pre-packaged foods and takeaways.

The main by-product of GMOs are fats and sugars, and GMOs when they’re not being turned into biofuels which feed no one, are being turned into oils, such as corn and soya and even cottonseed oil and sugar syrups such as high fructose corn syrup and to a lesser degree sugar from GM sugar beets.

In other words, what GMOs have most successfully done is provide cheap unhealthy ingredients to the junk food industry, and consuming this food has resulted in many health deficits, of which obesity is just one.

And companies that produce these kinds of food may even be cynically maintaining the obesity status quo, especially in children because fat children are an investment in future sales, and the food industry has a special interest in targeting children since repeated exposure to processed foods and sweetened drinks in infancy builds taste preferences, brand loyalty and high profits.

It’s easy to understand how consuming junk foods could cause weight gain, but in Norway, a group of scientists found that GMOs may increase weight gain in other less visible ways.

Their work revealed that animals maintained on a diet of GM corn put on weight and were less able to digest proteins and suffered immune system problems.

Examining the effects on salmon, researchers found definite distinctions between fish being fed GM food and those on a non-GM diet. Several of the changes were within the normal range, but, the fish fed GM showed a distinct trend.

The fish were somewhat larger, they ate slightly more, their intestines had a different microstructure, they were less able to digest proteins, and there were some differences in their immune system.

Blood samples also showed some change in the blood.

This incapacity to digest proteins has important implications for health because proper digestion of protein is essential for many biological functions which include providing the body with amino acids, which suggests that eating GMOs could be linked not only to a surge in obesity but increases in many modern illnesses such as diabetes, digestive disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) (ADD), autoimmune diseases, sexual dysfunction, sterility, asthma, COPD and more.

The point that the government are attempting to make here is, why waste good money on peasantry, especially if us peasants don’t follow the lifestyle that they believe we should, saying that the NHS should quit treating people who don’t toe the line, but they don’t say what motives compel such radical behaviour. Could it be that he’s swallowed Raspudom’s propaganda regarding eugenics and bioethics? And some jumped up self-righteous ogre dictate should not be breathing down our necks, saying who the NHS should treat and who they shouldn’t.

And so it begins, and this is just the start. Boris Johnson lied to the British people and now he’s breaking a verbal contract with the electing public.

Not to worry though, most of what was once our NHS has already gone, and this was always on the cards and why people believed anything Boris Johnson has to say is beyond me, and our government are merely parasites feasting on the flesh of its subjects.

Jeremy Corbyn Meets Families Who Were Hit By Floods

Jeremy Corbyn visited flood-hit families while Boris Johnson proceeded to evade demands to see for himself the destruction unleashed by Storm Dennis. The Prime Minister was also still resisting requests to trigger a COBRA meeting to organise attempts to assist householders battered by the destruction.

The Labour leader toured flood-damaged homes in Rhydyfelin near Pontypridd and blasted the Conservative leader for spending the week holed up at a country estate in Kent and his No 10 bunker.

Firefighter leaders also reprimanded Boris Johnson’s response as a shambles and accused him of cowering away, and angry householders urged the Prime Minister to leave No 10 and the Government’s grace and favour retreat, Chevening to see the aftereffect of the rainfall.

Selena Adamiec, 36, who showed Jeremy Corbyn round her end of terrace house, revealed she was awoken by a tremendous bang at 3 am as a wall outside her home collapsed under the weight of water.

She stated that she heard this huge bang and it was a warning for them to move fast as water rushed down the hillside, along the road and into her street on the Wordsworth Gardens social housing estate.

Selena said it was terrifying, the water was piling up, and that she’d only been in her home for a year and that they’d just finished decorating, and that was the sickening thing.

The mother to seven-year-old Jacob said she had to rip up carpets and was left to clean up when the waters subsided and standing next to Jeremy Corbyn, Selena glorified his visit, saying that this was the reason she voted for him.

She said that she didn’t know why Boris Johnson hadn’t shown his face but the fact that Jeremy Corbyn did mean a lot because it meant that they’d been recognised in this disaster.

Selena said that she believed that Boris Johnson should have at least had a look, whether he knocked on people’s doors or not, he should have at least come and had a look at the destruction it has left them in.

Next door, her neighbour Theresa Davies, 40, opened her back door so water could run through her house, in one end and out the other as the weekend floods erupted.

Theresa Davies managed to save the cushions from her sofa, but carpets and treasured possessions were lost and talking over the noise of three heavy-duty dryers, the mum of three said that she lost a huge cardboard box of all her children’s baby photos.

She said they weren’t worth much but that they were important to her and that they could never be replaced, and showing Jeremy Corbyn phone images of her flooded home, she said the entire house was swimming with water and that it was horrific, and she said that it meant a lot that he had come to see for himself.

Theresa Davies said that they normally get overlooked up there and she thought it was quite ludicrous the Prime Minister hadn’t been and that she was disappointed and that he could have bestowed a bit more concern.

It was like something out of a disaster movie as sandbags and floodgate panels stood in front of houses along the street as residents braced themselves for further downpours, and as hail pounded the estate, Jeremy Corbyn said that he thought the Prime Minister should visit these places.

And simply visiting people, speaking to them and listening to them, you can learn a great deal about the reality of what a flood is and it’s tragic, hearing stories of people losing their furniture and seeing their homes destroyed.

The Prime Minister must be there in places where there are difficulties, whether there’s an election or not and Boris Johnson should go and visit them, talk to them, and listen to them.

Boris Johnson should go and see what it’s like to have sewage water in your kitchen, go and see what it’s like to lose all your possessions, and the Prime Minister should think about how he would feel if his home was flooded.

However, a chief ally of the Prime Minister was sent out to defend Boris Johnson for ignoring victims and Minister Nadhim Zahawi maintained it was more important to get money to those affected than for them to see their Prime Minister in person.

And it was said that Jeremy Corbyn shouldn’t be seeking to politicise the floods and that he should be supporting the Government’s move to help and work with emergency staff who are working tirelessly to support everyone concerned.

Jeremy Corbyn dismissed it as complete rubbish but Tory claim his was a political stunt and Jeremy Corbyn said that it wasn’t politicising but that it was coming to listen to people, to hear about their experiences of what they’d been through.

The Prime Minister was further attacked by the Fire Brigades Union who said that funding for fire and rescue services in England had been cut by £141.5 million over the four-year local government finance settlement, 2016/17 to 2020/21, including an £8.7 million cut to the services covering regions with severe ‘risk to life’ flood warnings.

It highlighted how Hereford and Worcester had funding cut by £1.9 million – 19.8 per cent, as they suffered severe flooding from the River Severn in Upton-upon-Severn and the River Wye in Hampton Bishop.

Gloucestershire had been cut by £1.3 million -18.7 per cent despite facing critical flooding from the Severn at Uckinghall, and the Prime Minister has shown zilch leadership as flooding destroys communities.

Firefighters are on the ground fighting to keep people’s homes and businesses safe while Boris Johnson quails in Westminster.

Of course, flooding is nothing new and will only get worse with climate change, but our capacity to tackle its outcomes has been completely weakened by the absence of long term planning from this mess of a government.

The Tories have cut fire and rescue funding, mishandled flood defences and refused to recognise in law the role of firefighters and control staff in responding to these emergencies and Boris Johnson should be ashamed of himself.

Priti Patel Left Officials Trembling

Merciless Priti Patel left officials trembling with her demanding behaviour as a Minister, and the Home Secretary has been accused of attempting to expel a senior civil servant, as her department was plunged into a tumultuous bullying row.

The Home Secretary reportedly demanded the removal of her permanent secretary Sir Philip Rutnam, who’s said to have raised concerns about her behaviour.

Priti Patel has supposedly earned herself a reputation for being cold and difficult, and if she took against an official, she would let it be known and she would demand people to be dismissed from their jobs.

And it seems she’s pretty robust, highly demanding and wants impossible stuff done immediately, and won’t take no for an answer and people have trembled in meetings with her.

A source said that Priti Patel’s ruthless behaviour has been amplified since Boris Johnson’s aide Dominic Cummings arrived at No 10, and that she inherently hates civil servants and that she thinks they’re risk-averse.

She thinks they’re trying to stop what she wants to accomplish. She’s brutal and with Dominic Cummings on board, it’s been magnified, and the dispute between Sir Philip and Priti Patel reportedly followed orders from the Home Secretary, some of which officials said were illegal.

The pair had major arguments about the rule of law, but any ally of Priti Patel said they didn’t recognise these claims, and a source said they firmly refuted allegations of bullying or belittling and had never seen any proof of this, instead, describing her as difficult, so she fits in well with the rest of the government.

They’re all a pack of well-heeled elitists, many of who are owners of conglomerates and employ managers to cover their incompetence.

All you have to do is look at those at No 10, who I wouldn’t trust to make a cup of tea and they look as stupid as they act, like old Etonian schoolboys out for a bit of fun. Fun for them, but trouble for the rest of us, and who’s going to pick up the pieces after they’re gone?

And they’ve marginalised or removed able politicians who disagree with their leader, and this has the effect of diminishing the accessible supply of expertise and thus creating an echo chamber come self-appreciation society that suffers from groupthink.

The top people, positive in their ability but mindful that they have blind spots, always select teams with differing views and experiences. Top leaders don’t want yes men and women, but Boris Johnson and his buddies do!

And it seems that MPs are terrified of her being victorious because if she does a great job over the next decade then she will become leadership material.

However, if she boots them all out, other than the ones that will leave in their droves, who will do all the work to make all the departments and systems function? Because no one will come and work for a bully.

I’m all for reform, but not at the cost of someone’s mental health or if it involves bullying tactics, and there has to be a line between the well-being of workers and being able to call out complacencies and ineptitude within departments, and with how the civil service work, this is the childish attitude that we should be expecting, a lot of shouting and a lot of whining.

Plus they get paid a bomb for doing essentially nothing, and after a lifetime of easy work, they get called out and told they have to start earning their money, so a few tears of improper treatment and bullying is the least we can expect.

skynews-boris-johnson-arrives-downing-street_4918782.jpg

And then we have Boris Johnson, who’s been quite the absentee since the election, although the fool does rear his messy head on occasion, and the large preponderance of civil servants are pompous, lethargic and grossly overcompensated pencil pushers.

Perhaps it’s time we had a Home Secretary with a pair, to sort it all out, and people who get all upset when asked to do their work, which is pretty well paid, are out of their depth and they wouldn’t last a week in private industry.

Men are afraid of robust women that won’t be pushed around, and Priti Patel seems like she is one of those people who won’t stand for freeloading MPs, but she still comes across as a mean prejudiced bully, and that has nothing to do with gender.

Priti Patel supported the death penalty, but then denied she ever supported wanting it to be reintroduced, and she used her first interview as Home Secretary to say that she wanted offenders to truly feel terror, although she didn’t say what offenders, was that all of them, or just some of them?

The fervent Brexiteer was appointed to the Home Office by Boris Johnson after two years as a backbencher, provoking debate over her past support for capital punishment. However, Priti Patel then insisted that her previous claims didn’t mean she was an ardent supporter of the death penalty.

She further said that her comments on the matter were constantly taken out of context and alleged that footage of her supporting the death penalty, may have been clipped.

Priti Patel was fired as International Development Secretary by Theresa May in 2017 after holding undeclared meetings with the Israeli government but made a remarkable return to government, under Boris Johnson.

And in an interview, she claimed she’d previously been questioned about deterrents in crime and said that there needed to be more restraints. She further stated that she believed that we had a criminal justice system that continuously fails the country and that we’ve seen murderers, rapists and people who’ve perpetrated the most disgusting atrocities in society, go into prison and then are discharged from prison to go out into the community to then re-offend and do the types of crime they have committed again and again.

She said that it was shocking and that on that reason alone she would support the reintroduction of capital punishment to serve as a restraint because there should be enough deterrents in this country for offenders.

And that if you had the ultimate penalty for the murder of policemen and other horrendous crimes, she was certain it would serve as a deterrent and that we should be conveying a clear signal to people that crime doesn’t pay. That the punishment must fit the crime and that she did support capital punishment.

She continued that her focus was to restating commitment to law and order and restating commitment to the people on the front line, the police. See, she didn’t mention the people of this country! And she said that the important thing was that they needed to empower them to end criminality – she made it sound like everyone in the United Kingdom is a criminal.

And according to Priti Patel, the Conservative Party is the party of law and order, full stop! But Priti Patel’s idea that making people terrified of the police will cut crime shows just how out of touch she is with what’s driving some young people into crime in the first place.

Frequently young people say they carry knives because they’re scared of other young people in gangs and we need more police so these young people can feel less fearful and for the police to be there for them and not because the police add to their anxieties, and Priti Patel is just ranting like an uneducated thug, and give a Tory an inch, they’ll take a mile.

At the end of the day, Priti Patel just wants some sort of reaction, which is pathetic really and it’s about time these Tories realised that they’re nothing more than public servants and not above the law either.

And Priti Patel might seem like she’s got a backbone, but there’s a difference between having a backbone and bullying, and now apparently MPs are trembling – well, we’re damned if these are the kind of wimps that are running and destroying our country.

Bullies are detestable and they can make your entire life a misery and there’s a fine line between good, strong leadership, which is required, and bullying, and a fair leader will achieve more from their staff than any bully would.

The Tories are just heartless people and have ruined everything in the United Kingdom, and now they continue without mercy and still can’t see anything wrong with their actions, and not so long ago, Priti Patel had 10 meetings, attempting to give money to finance a foreign power army on the Golan Heights, which was certainly a sackable offence and she quickly was.

She was supplying a foreign power and perhaps also breaking UK law. Most people would have got prison time for that! And it’s worse than that. She wanted to funnel away UK foreign aid to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), and it was Israel controlled Syrian Golan Heights, a place that the United Kingdom doesn’t even acknowledge, and she visited IDF field hospitals nursing injured ISIS fighters, that’s the ISIS we were at war with.

Of course, there are different kinds of bullying, but those people who are needy and bully their staff with sackings and demotions if they don’t give 200 per cent of their time or are unable to work the weekend to get something done for their boss is a huge problem and disappointing, particularly when she thought she was suitable for the position, and would she happily fire someone and for them to lose their home and family over the most insignificant perceived lack of what she would call support?

But on saying that, Civil Servants do need a good shakeup from their comfy little numbers, but she’s totally out of her depth, with her shouty delivery and lashing out is her pitiful endeavour to look like she’s in charge, and she always has that grin on her face, perhaps the power has gone to her head?

I guess we should get used to that grin because I believe we’re going to be seeing a lot of it in the future.

Dominic Cummings Allegedly Playing God

0_Dominic-Cummings-arrives-in-Whitehall-ahead-of-cabinet-reshuffle-London-United-Kingdom-12-Feb-20.jpg

Boris Johnson’s top aide said Brexit could free up Britain to engineer questionable gene research, and Dominic has prophesied new techniques that will revolutionise IVF, allowing would-be parents to avoid embryos with disease risks and cognitive problems.

In a 4,000-word blog last February about genomic prediction, he asked Britain to push the boundaries of the field, despite what he said would be hysterical arguments about things like IQ and social mobility.

And he stated that post-Brexit will be outside the EU’s control and able to make speedier and more reliable judgments about regulating technology like genomics, AI and robotics.

But a Labour frontbencher insisted the practice was eugenics with one MP from the party accusing him of trying to play God and it gives a valuable insight into Dominic Cummings thinking on IQ and genetics after he wrote his blog post about a topic called genomic prediction.

This is where embryos are excluded from IVF based on markers in their DNA. This practice is welcomed by some as a way of circumventing lifelong illnesses but has prompted a moral debate about where to draw the line.

One US-based firm, Genomic Prediction, offers parents screening to identify genetically normal embryos. This includes weeding out those at risk of disease but in 2018 the firm further developed testing to determine the risk of an embryo of a low IQ.

Co-founder Stephen Hsu, who Dominic Cummings praised and has appeared with at No 10, said it would only be used to eliminate embryos with a mental disability, but Stephen Hsu believed people may in future select designer intelligent babies, and he said that some people are going to demand that, but if they don’t do it, some other company will.

On his blog, Dominic Cummings cited research saying genes have a substantial impact on people’s IQ and said genomic tests are getting more affordable all the time and can predict a person’s height within a few centimetres.

He concentrated largely on physical health, stating the useful predictions could avoid embryos developing diabetes, breast or prostate cancer in later life, but he added that they would also be able to make predictions about outliers in cognitive abilities, the high and low ends.

He warned against relying on early year’s programmes like Sure Start, which he stated was based on flawed evidence, to improve children’s lives, and instead, he asked politicians to make policy decisions on the foundation of rational thinking and good science.

He added that China was pushing hard on genomics but that America had political and regulatory hurdles holding it back on genomics that was much weaker there, and he continued that Britain couldn’t prevent the growth of such science.

However much Dominic Cummings attempts to dance around his beliefs, it’s obvious that this is eugenics.

Eugenics is a long-discredited and critical pseudo-science, and should it have a place in the 21st century, let alone be held by No 10?

This is disturbing and dangerous and maybe should have no place in society, never mind at the heart of government. Dominic Cummings might be able to play the Cabinet, but he can’t be allowed to impersonate God.

This is scary, and in another 10 or 20 years, they could by misfortune, or on purpose create another Hitler. However, even though we should be a little uncomfortable with genomics and playing God, I’m frequently reminded that countless lives have been saved due to scientific progress, but knowing where to draw the line is the test.

And what will be next? Only MPs and Dominic Cummings to breed to produce a British Master Race, or will it only be those who received a Public School education to have children? Boris Johnson will recommend that one!

Dominic Cummings is performing like an egotistical loony, and the simple-minded strike again, and this was something Mengele was working on in the Nazi concentration camps.

Most people with a low IQ or other so-called defects usually get a lot of pleasure out of life and they’re happy to be alive, although some are in pain and life can be miserable.

Nonetheless, where do you stop once on this course and what’s the logic behind it? Is it compassion? Or is it just a way to eliminate those who are considered to be a burden, a problem or a misuse of resources?

And whilst we should control our cynicism, some people are promoting what is a dangerous philosophy, and Dominic Cummings is a dangerous man, made all the more so by the seeming indifference to his works, of the current government leadership.

We should keep our eye’s and ears open so that we can see the abuses and atrocities that are being forced on ordinary people by those in leadership because sceptics we might be, but fools we’re not.

Dominic Cummings is ungodly and psychotic and Boris Johnson has given him free rein because Boris is slothful and he knows he’s incapable of governing the country and there are numerous legitimate reasons as to why we should regulate the practice of messing with nature.

I’m all for advancing medical science, but not at any cost and it would be just another scheme for pharmaceuticals to make even more money and would be open to exploitation by the rich.

Health and Disability Assessments

The purpose of the assessment is to understand how your illness or disability influences your everyday life. The assessment is carried out for the DWP.

The length of the DWP Health Assessment depends on the individual case, and it further depends upon the type of assessment and your medical conditions, although it says that you should allow two hours for the assessment but it may take less.

To be awarded Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) a claimant must total at least 15 points unless you’re in one of the categories of people who are exceptions, and the points can be added up from several different activities from both the physical and mental disabilities.

The conditions that automatically qualify you for disability are sense and speech problems, such as vision or hearing loss. Respiratory illness, such as COPD or asthma. Neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy. Mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, autism or retardation.

Every month about 60,000 ill and disabled people have their needs assessed for benefits but some are so anxious about the method that is used, they’re using mobile phones to surreptitiously record those interviews, but using that evidence to reverse a decision is not straightforward.

And this is what you need to take with you when you attend one of these assessments:

You’ll need your appointment letter, which is quite straightforward because most people have to do that when they have appointments.

So, now comes the more complicated part. They want proof of identification. This is, of course, to catch you out. They want a driving licence, and then they would say that if you’re driving then you don’t need help, if you have a passport, why are you going on holiday if you’re so ill?

On another note, how many people have a passport or a driving licence? Or, if you don’t have those you have to bring three types of identification – that’s stressed you out even before you get there.

Now they want you to take evidence of all your medication, such as tablets, liquids and inhalers, and you have to take any medical aids that you use. By now, friends of mine would be loading up a lorry to get them there!

So, now you’ve gone from giving them information to essentially moving home with all your aids. They even want you to bring your mobility scooter, walker, walking stick, wheelchair to name a few and nebuliser. I’m sure I’ve missed a few out, but I’m sure you get the picture.

And for those that use a commode and a wet room, should they bring those as well?

There is no conceivable way these people who are ill could bring these things to the assessment centre because normally they’re not near to where they live, and another thing they say is that if you have an assistance dog, to bring that with you as well. Well, clearly if you’re blind and need an assistance dog you would have to bring it with, otherwise, dumb arse, how would they get there?

And these are the type of people who are doing our assessments, doesn’t give you much confidence, does it?

Boris Johnson Ally Lashes Out At Rapper

A top Boris Johnson ally has lashed out at Dave for calling the Prime Minister a real racist at the BRITs.

Home Secretary Priti Patel stated the claim was complete rubbish and maintained no one could level the allegation against the Tory leader before meeting him personally.

Rapper Dave used his performance to yield politically-charged lyrics and comment on the aftereffect of the Grenfell fire, which came days after a No 10 advisor said black Americans had a lower average IQ than white Americans and then resigned his appointment.

However, Priti Patel hit back at allegations the Prime Minister was guilty of racial discrimination and she said that Boris Johnson was not a racist at all and she thought the remarks were extremely improper.

And in an interview, she added the comments made by Dave were very much a generalisation and musicians and artists say all kinds of things. However, she didn’t see the BRITs performance but stated that she’s served with the Prime Minister and that she knows Boris Johnson well and that no way is he a racist.

It comes after the artist, who won Best Album gave a show-stopping performance demanding ‘Equality is a right’ as words such as ‘Black’ and ‘Go Home’ flashed up in the visuals.

The musician, whose full name is David Omoregie, is not the first to reprimand the Prime Minister from the BRITs platform. Stormzy used his performance two years ago to ask Theresa May ‘Where’s the money for Grenfell? What you thought we just forgot about Grenfell?

‘You criminals and you’ve got the cheek to call us savages, you should do some jail time, you should pay some damages, you should burn your house down and see if you can manage this.’

What Dave said about Boris Johnson resonated with people, especially following the incident where No 10 brought in a policy adviser who thought that black people were inferior intellectually to white people.

And Boris Johnson has a lot to do to satisfy the community that he’s not excessively adverse about black people and Muslim people, and in the meantime, Priti Patel made an eyebrow-raising claim as she supported Britain’s decision to deport drug offenders, many of which have lived in the United Kingdom for decades back to Jamaica.

Webp.net-resizeimage-18-1.jpg

She stated that there was no such thing as dabbling in drugs, despite her Cabinet colleague Michael Gove previously revealing he did just that with cocaine and Boris Johnson has also declined to answer clearly whether he took cocaine once as a teenager.

What do you folks think? Do you believe that Boris Johnson is a racist? I mean, look at the things he says about people who aren’t white.

Boris Johnson is a party leader of the media age and don’t overlook the fact that Boris was a journalist before he went into politics, so he knows what to say and not what to say to them.

And yet this current Prime Minister has displayed exceptional determination to limit media inspection, whether it’s banning ministers from appearing on the Today programme and Good Morning Britain, or banning them and their special advisers from talking to journalists, Boris Johnson is exposing himself to be a brooding and shady politician, forever at odds with his cheeky chappie persona.

I think we should presume that there’s a strong element of projection at play or is it because Boris Johnson was a partisan journalist that he’s an enemy of press freedom and that he believes all journalists are like him and that they’ll twist, warp and edit respectively.

You can see the same projection in the controlling of his co-workers. Just as a general who has taken control in a military coup keeps a close eye on his army to make sure no one else is considering using the same tactics against him, so Boris Johnson is determined his ministers can never dream of replicating his tricks.

Boris Johnson won power by exploiting his mastery of the media, which was so assured journalists referred to him as ‘Boris, the reader’s and viewer’s friend’, and naturally, he’s making sure Conservative ministers can’t do unto him as he did unto David Cameron and Theresa May, and it’s working for now.

And Boris Johnson has been so thriving at diminishing his co-workers, that if the Prime Minister’s time among us were to end tomorrow, who would have the stature and political footing to succeed him because there only appears to be room for one big beast in the Boris Johnson vivarium.

Mudslinging works both ways and it takes a more powerful person to build bridges and forge a better society for everyone, and it starts with every one of us in small ways and not taking what doesn’t belong to you.

It’s about creating a fair society, which Boris Johnson has no intention of doing, and Dave might be singing his song about Grenfell, which simply stokes resentment. But is he giving the money from his song to help the victims of Grenfell?

And we shouldn’t judge a man by the colour of his skin but by the content of his soul, and if man was to follow a few simple rules we would be living in a wonderful world.

Dave the rapper is okay, I’ve listened to him before, although I must say it’s not my thing and I’ve found that most rapping lyrics are about crime, discrimination, demeaning women and how bad off the black race is, and people buy this rap and listen to it and then get brainwashed, and it just seems he’s another guy with a chip on his shoulder using the race card to further his career, although we’re all entitled to free speech.

However, if it was a white person recording a song saying that blacks are racist, I’d probably end up in jail, and the state of the United Kingdom now horrifies me.

The problem is that we’ve raised a generation whose main way of feeling special is to openly call people bigots and radicals, and this is what you get.

A society of fools who believe they’re securing points by calling their Prime Minister and Presidents and Commanders in Chief racist and fascist, and then swaggering around as if they’re fearless protesters in the USSR or something, but are they wrong? And should we be giving Dave a platform to preach?

Yes, of course, he has a platform to preach, it’s called freedom of speech and why shouldn’t he when we have an entire cabinet who are brown-nosing each other and how pitiful they all look on TV and outside No 10, and most of the time I feel somewhat ashamed that there are people in this country cheering for this shambolic mess of no-hopers attempting to run the country.

And as for Priti Patel who doesn’t classify herself as a racist, for which a person of ethnic colour, she is, but then she would say she’s not a racist and she should be ashamed of herself because she’s clearly in bed with Boris Johnson.

It shouldn’t matter who you are or where you come from. What the colour of your skin is or what religious background you hail from, nobody should be subjected to racism of any kind because we’re all human beings and should be treated as such, and a true racist will go round calling everyone else a racist to cover their tracks because they accuse the other side of which they’re guilty.

But then most of us are guilty of having a tiny mind!

And we seem to be obsessed with colour and Priti Patel appears to be a person of dubious morals and ethics and yet she’s still our Home Secretary, and yes, we’re all a tad racist, but Boris Johnson seems to be well above the rest.

And when Priti Patel does finally crawl out of Boris Johnson’s backside, people might see that he’s a racist and a liar, but those that are Tories, the facts won’t mean anything to them.

Members Of Parliament Face Tougher Controls

MPs face tighter restrictions on their taxpayer-funded credit cards after it arose scores have used them for individual expenses and it appears that hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of non-claimable spending has been put on official payment cards since 2010.

Some 100 MPs have used the cards for at least three purchases that they subsequently didn’t seek to get compensated for, and for 14 MPs, more than 15 per cent of their transactions were classified as personal costs, and only 23 per cent have never used the cards for anything outside the rules.

The details were announced in an assurance report by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), which is said to now be toughening up the system.

Payment cards are issued to politicians so they don’t have to shell out up-front for travel tickets and a multitude of other outlays relating to their job, and up to £4,000 a month can be put on the tab, and individual transactions can be up to £2,000.

However, the spending is only checked retrospectively, after IPSA has paid the balance, and the arrangements have before created trouble when MPs have either had claims denied, recorded them late, or spent on personal things.

IPSA said that it had temporarily deactivated cards 1,111 times between May 2015 and November 2018, which is done while claims are outstanding or to collect money from MPs.

A Freedom of Information (FOI) request previously revealed that Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn were amongst dozens who had the privilege waived. Boris Johnson faced the sanction once and Jeremy Corbyn twice, and for both, it was because they were late adjusting figures rather than over debts.

However, only five MPs have been contacted about repeated misuse of cards since 2015, and none had theirs permanently withdrawn, despite four of them repeating the breach at least once after.

Since 2010 £473,000 of transactions on cards weren’t claimed for, and about £198,000 was spending outside the expense scheme, and the report emphasised that misuse of the cards was a comparatively insignificant dilemma, stating the expenditure on personal things amounted to only 0.5 per cent of the total on cards.

It further asserted that while MPs might have had a personal benefit from the interest-free credit, all funds were recovered and that a really small number of MPs have used their payment card many times for personal expense, with 14 MPs identified as having used their payment cards for personal expenditure in over 15 per cent of their purchases.

IPSA frequently turns off MPs payment cards when they decline to present evidence on time or when they neglect to settle their card on time. However, there have been some instances of repeated abuse by MPs and were not addressed promptly and as a consequence, the benefit may have been given to the few MPs who used the card for personal expenses, in the form of an interest-free period before the costs were collected.

IPSA maintained since the election in December last year it had toughened up its methods to crack down on misuse of the cards and that under new policy, if any money is owed by an MP and isn’t paid within 30 days, the MPs card will be suspended until the account is collected or a repayment plan is in place.

The new system also includes more effective methods for dealing with abuse of the payment card, and serious or steadfast violations of the requirements will result in the card being suspended for up to six months or removed altogether.

And if they do discover an abuse of the cards and of course they will, if a proper investigation is done, what about all those MPs who’ve been voted out, retired or resigned their seats? Will they be made to pay back the money they owe?

In Greed They Trust, and there’s no boundary to their want to take money from the state purse by any means attainable and it seems that they claim for everything and don’t pay a single bill.

Their wages are simply additional spending money or they could save the entire thing as they don’t have to use it and most have infinite amounts written down on their claim form.

We seem to have an unelected House of Lords getting rewarded for nothing and now we’re financing 4k a month on credit cards and we shouldn’t have to put up with this but they won’t face any tougher restrictions, everything will simply carry on as before.

It’s chock-full of people who get considerably more than their MPs wages, with access to all other perks that come with being an MP, and it’s clear to see why because it’s money, money and more money, and this is what is generally known as stealing and just another clandestine way to feast from the trough.

No 10 Refuses To Say If Boris Johnson Thinks That Black People Are Inferior Mentally

Boris_Johnson_official_portrait_(cropped).jpg

Number 10 repeatedly declined to clarify if Boris Johnson’s beliefs on eugenics and whether black people are intellectually inferior which came following a series of incendiary remarks made by a recently appointed advisor.

Andrew Sabisky is perceived to have been appointed in response to senior aide Dominic Cummings advertising for misfits and weirdos to work for him, and the Prime Minister’s deputy spokesperson declined 32 times to say whether the Prime Minister shared Andrew Sabisky’s beliefs. He would only say that Boris Johnson’s views were well publicised and documented.

Asked whether the well-publicised views were a reference to Boris Johnson’s articles about black people as piccaninnies and having watermelon smiles, the Prime Minister’s deputy spokesperson said that it was well publicised and well documented. He also declined to answer questions relating to Andrew Sabisky’s appointment.

In 2014 Andrew Sabisky wrote that one way to get around the problems of unplanned pregnancies creating a perpetual underclass would be to legally enforce universal uptake of long-term contraception at the start of puberty.

Questioned whether Boris Johnson believed this was a good idea, his deputy spokesperson said that the Prime Minister’s views are well publicised and well documented.

And in another blog post, Andrew Sabisky wrote: “If the mean black American IQ is (best estimate based on a century’s worth of data) around 85, as compared to a mean white American IQ of 100, then if IQ is normally distributed, you will see a far greater percentage of blacks than whites in the range of IQs 75 or below, at which point we are close to the typical boundary for mild mental retardation.”

Asked whether Boris Johnson thinks black people have a lower IQ than white people, his deputy spokesperson said that he’d acknowledged the inquiries and that the Prime Minister’s views are well publicised and well documented.

And in a tweet, Andrew Sabisky stated that he was straight up in saying that women’s sport is more akin to the Paralympics than it is to men’s.

The notion that members of one race are genetically more intelligent than members of another is insane and this has been discredited, not that this debunking annulled the damage and it’s disgusting that not only has Number 10 failed to condemn Andrew Sabisky’s shocking remark but also appears to have endorsed the notion that white people are more intelligent than black people.

Boris Johnson should have the backbone to make a statement in his own words on why he’s made this appointment, whether he stands by it, and his views on the topic of eugenics.

However, we should know if Boris Johnson believes any group is mentally inferior, after all, this educated nincompoop is running the Tory party, although at the moment it looks like Dominic Cummings is running it and not Boris Johnson.

Boris Johnson might be able to babble some Latin, which is a pretty dead language but he can’t rub two ideas together and just what clown is going to converse with Boris Johnson in Latin – only the Pope, and Boris Johnson has no intellectual inferiors because this idiot is at the bottom of the pile himself.

Boris Johnson did, however, describe blacks as piccaninnies with watermelon smiles and went on to describe working-class males as feckless, aimless drunks and likely to be criminal, so it does look like he’s on the same page as Andrew Sabisky.

Boris Johnson is the one that’s thick because he’s hopeless at anything which requires logic and then he pitches a tantrum when he’s out of his league, and he should take a good look at himself in the mirror sometime – I wonder what will be gazing back at him?

And the Tories are too dumb to say anything past prosaic spurious adolescent garbage aimed at justifying their need for self-gratification.

The problem is, the Tories are too frightened of the modern world, but whatever Boris Johnson says or does, the people that voted for him will defend him, whatever! And whatever he does is simply a twisted grab for power.

And even if a person is a Tory, they’re also human, and just because you’re a Tory doesn’t mean you have to follow them blindly and all that Andrew Sabisky is a sexist and a bigot.

Everybody should be judged by their contribution to the world and not by their sex or the colour of their skin, and why on earth did the spokesman not just say that the remarks were unacceptable and that the Prime Minister would never agree with them?

And of course, the next question should have been ‘will Andrew Sabisky be fired?’ And someone like Dominic Cummings is going to slaughter cohesive working at Number 10 with wide collateral damage for the government.

And the fact that Dominic Cummings didn’t fire this nincompoop, Boris Johnson must agree with the comment by association, and these are simply Human Resources mantras and radicals who can make you or destroy you, and in this case, first-class people, select first-class people. Second class people select third class people.

Boris Johnson is second class at best and Dominic Cummings is third class which makes Andrew Sabisky, beyond the pale, and Dominic Cummings should resign.

And politics is just there to divide people because a divided people are easier to control and you get what you vote for and people shouldn’t come whining when they’re forcibly sterilising your children.

But whoever you voted for, if that political party have members that are making trouble, or are radicals, just get shot of them.

The Prime Minister has said discriminatory things and done racist things but all he had to do was denounce those beliefs and deny sharing them, then the entire question would have been done, but if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck!

He’s refusing to rebuke these views and at worst he’s essentially strengthening them, and everyone who voted for Boris Johnson should feel ashamed, and if you live in a disadvantaged area, that’s you and your friends and neighbours they’re talking about compulsorily sterilising.

If Boris Johnson doesn’t want to answer questions, then he shouldn’t be in the public eye – his role is to answer questions but no matter what Boris Johnson says, it will always get twisted into something else.

But what was said about forced contraception is a terrible comment, especially when Boris Johnson has bred like a rabbit.

Andrew Sabisky did, however, decide to resign and he said that he signed up to do real work and not be amid a giant character assassination and that if he couldn’t do his job properly, then there wasn’t any point and that he had loads of other stuff to do with his life.

Sadly, overpopulation will always hit the poorest first, and the more people that breed, the more crimes will come from it, and more disease will grow, with resources going down the toilet, along with mass unemployment, particularly when technology takes over, then that will equate to less manual labouring jobs.

Add pollution, waste getting pumped into the water and other problems like hospital overcrowding, which gives the perfect situation marked by extreme debate.

The population will one day have to be culled with education, but it takes balls to say that, however, Andrew Sabisky’s comments were said in malice to prevent poor people producing so he could have a posh Utopia which is somewhat different.

However, the Tory loving fools are getting upset at Herr Johnson getting unfavourable publicity – it warms the heart, doesn’t it? But his followers do like sucking up to him, or do they simply enjoy whining about it?

UK MP Debbie Abrahams Denied Admission To India

A Labour MP sparked a diplomatic incident after being denied admission to India.

Debbie Abrahams said she felt like a criminal after she was put in a deportee cell and bodily marched onto a return flight when officials said she didn’t have a legitimate visa.

The Labour MP who chairs the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Kashmir and has been critical of the Indian government said she was being deported and she said it was shocking.

A Foreign Office minister raised the matter formally with India’s High Commissioner and a Foreign Office spokesperson said that they were in touch with the Indian officials and that Lord Ahmad has spoken with the Indian High Commissioner to understand why Deborah Abrahams MP was refused admission to India.

Kashmir is disputed by India and Pakistan and last year Debbie Abrahams said a legal change by the Indian government betrayed the trust of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

And speaking from her seat on the plane, the MP stated that she wouldn’t be surprised if the decision was to do with her association with the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG).

India’s High Commission in London kicked back, insisting that Deborah Abrahams did not have a visa to visit India and her denial was nothing to do with her work on the APPG.

The Labour MP stated that she landed at New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi international airport with her Parliamentary aide Harpreet Uppal.

Debbie Abrahams stated that she wanted to pay a private visit to her sister in law’s cousin and aunt, who recently lost a family member, in Delhi, before then going with Harpreet Uppal to Pakistan for an official appointment with the APPG.

She said she had got her visa to visit India last October and that it was valid for a whole year. But when she gave it to a border officer, she said, he was looking on his screen and began shaking his head and going ‘no, no, no’, and said that her visa had been denied.

She said the gentleman left with her passport for about 10 minutes before returning and stating she wouldn’t be allowed into India.

Debbie Abrahams gave the copy of her visa on her phone but maintained the officer was then rude and aggressive, telling her to follow him.

She said that she was getting a little bit frightened and she didn’t know where he was taking her or what was going to happen. So, she said that she wanted to know what was happening, but then he yelled at her to follow him and she told him not to speak to her like that.

He took her and her aide to what could only be defined as a holding area, a fenced-off cordoned area, with two signs saying deportee cell and he told them to sit down and wait but she refused to sit down because she wanted as many people as possible to see her. After all, she didn’t know what was going to happen to her.

She said she asked to apply for a visa on arrival but was told she wouldn’t be allowed in. By this point, she said there were about five officials, some of which were remorseful and didn’t know what was going on.

She said that she felt like a criminal, being accompanied everywhere with security watchdogs, who made her sit in a transit lounge for an hour being watched and asked all sorts of details which she declined to co-operate on.

The MP spoke out about the revocation of article 370, a law which gave Kashmir a level of autonomy, by the Indian government.

She wrote to India’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and stated that the unilateral decision made by the Government of India to withdraw Article 370 betrayed the trust of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, dating back to the accession of 1947.

And she continued in her letter that it was particularly worrying that this would heighten tensions in an area where there are already reported issues of violence, aggression and human rights violations.

Debbie Abrahams was put on a flight to return to Dubai where she would then take her connecting flight to Pakistan. She was physically marched to the plane and still didn’t have her passport until just before take-off.

Vishwesh Negi, Minister in command of Press and Political Affairs at India’s High Commission in London, dismissed the refusal was to do with Deborah Abraham’s work on Kashmir.

He stated that she was insisting she had a visa and they’re saying that she didn’t have a visa and so it was her version against their version and Vishwesh Negi said that the MP could not get a visa on entry because it’s not available to UK passengers.

When asked to verify his position and questioned if her refusal was anything to do with her work on the APPG, Kashmir, or her visit to Pakistan, he stated that it wasn’t and that she had not been banned from India forever and could apply for a visa in the future.

It’s India’s choice who they deport and who they don’t, but it’s quite right to highlight the fact that their country is not open enough to allow the entry of people who are discerning of their government, and that was Debbie Abraham’s rightful voice and it appears that the current Indian government is quite right-wing and a somewhat offensive set of people that are currently in power there.

They said that Debbie Abraham’s had no visa and it is their word against hers and quite honestly it should have been investigated and if it had been established that she didn’t have a valid visa, then they owe her an apology, and if it was discovered that she didn’t have a visa, then certainly she should scolded for not having one.

It appears that India has effective restrictions on keeping out political dissidents who meddle in their sovereign country’s affairs and why was she spending taxpayers money on visiting her family? But then this entire madness is just part of the swamp.

But then, is she right? If India and Pakistan spent the £600,000000 we give each year, on the needy, instead of buying weaponry from the capitalists in this country, they wouldn’t want to migrate to other country’s.

However, when you bad mouth a country, is she not surprised they did not greet her with open arms? And she was somewhat naive if she didn’t realise, when you fight injustice, injustice is likely to fight back but still, the reporting of this story is plausibly worth more than her planned trip.

THE ARRON BANKS CHAOTIC TRIUMPH

PA-21074083_VP7Iyu5.width-800.jpg

As the sun came up in London on June 24, 2016, Arron Banks and Andy Wigmore were strolling through Westminster, the political district of London, smoking cigarettes and swigging champagne from a bottle.

The shock outcome of the referendum on Britain’s membership in the European Union had just been announced. Leave had won.

Arron Banks is an entrepreneur whose wealth comes essentially from owning insurance companies and he’d financed and led the most militant wing of the Leave campaign, Leave.EU and he’d given or loaned a sum of thirteen million dollars to numerous anti-EU causes.

In Britain, campaign spending laws have historically been extremely stringent and donations modest by American standards and Arron Bank’s offerings are believed to constitute the most generous sum ever given by a person to a political campaign.

He’s one of the self-styled bad boys of Brexit and he made history by giving the largest donations in British political history to the Leave.EU campaign and he’s worth anything between £100 million and £250 million and gave a reported £12 million in cash, loans and services to pro-Brexit causes.

Arron Banks was born in 1966 in Northwich, Cheshire and educated at private schools and he’s credited and condemned in equal measure for bankrolling Brexit and the foundation of his immense fortune is shrouded in mystery.

He co-founded the Brightside insurance firm and established the brokers Go Skippy, but much of his money is held offshore in Belize, the Isle of Man, the British Virgin Islands and Gibraltar, making interpretation tricky.

leave.euLogo_1200px-1080x630.png

And the source of some of the money he donated to Leave.EU was subject to investigation by the Electoral Commission, which investigated donations worth £2.3 million, to access whether Arron Banks was the actual source of the funds.

The National Crime Agency began an inquiry into the questionable insurance magnate over concerns he wasn’t the true source of the money he spent on the drive for Brexit and Arron Banks who funded the Leave.EU campaign was referred to the NCA by election watchdogs, along with Leave.EU chief executive Liz Bilney.

The Electoral Commission stated Arron Banks and Liz Bilney gave inadequate explanations about the £8 million worth of financial transactions to the Better For The Country organisation, which ran Leave.EU’s referendum campaign and who received money on its behalf and funded its referendum expenses.

It said it had just grounds to suspect that the pair intentionally hid and attempted to conceal the actual happenings of that money, which the group alleged had come from Arron Banks only.

The law is that loans and donations to registered campaigners can only come from certain sanctioned sources, which primarily prohibits overseas or foreign funding from any resulting impermissible influence on the outcome of the EU Referendum.

The Electoral Commission inquiry centred on loans calculating £8 million contributed to Better for the Country Limited and Leave.EU and on 17 October 2018, the National Crime Agency accepted a referral from the Electoral Commission of possible crimes under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (PPERA) and potential shortcomings under company law.

The referral from the Electoral Commission covered the following named persons and entities:

Better for the Country Limited
Leave.EU
Arron Banks
Elizabeth Bilney

In its published referral (1 November 2018) the Electoral Commission said it had reasonable grounds to suspect that Arron Banks was not the real source of the £8 million loans made to Better for the Country Limited and Leave.EU.

Loans to Better for the Country Limited on behalf of Leave.EU involved a non-qualifying or impermissible company, Rock Holdings Limited, which was incorporated in the Isle of Man.

And that Arron Banks and Ms Bilney and others involved in Better for the Country Limited, Leave.EU and associated companies concealed the true details of those financial transactions and that various criminal offences may have been perpetrated.

Arron Bank’s Leave.EU campaign team met with Russian embassy officials as many as 11 times in the run-up to the EU referendum and the two months beyond, documents seen by a media agency suggest it was seven more times than Arron Banks admitted.

The same documents suggest the Russian embassy extended a further four invitations to Brexit’s biggest funder, but it’s not known if they were accepted and it had been the third time the number of such meetings had been revised upwards.

For two years, Arron Banks maintained his only contact with the Russian government consisted of one debauched lunch with the Russian ambassador but it was reported that he had many meetings at which he had been offered profitable business deals.

And when Arron Banks was pressed, he revealed the fourth meeting but evidence suggested that there were at least seven more and when he was challenged about this, he submitted no response.

A leader of the Leave.EU campaign proposed conveying a message of support to the Russian ambassador after the then foreign secretary made a speech that was critical of Russia.

The material also appears to show that Andy Wigmore, spokesperson for the Leave.EU campaign and the business partner of Arron Banks, the biggest funder of Brexit, passed confidential legal papers to high-ranking officials at the Russian embassy and then denied it to parliament.

The documents related to George Cottrel, an aide to Nigel Farage who was with him on the campaign trail for Donald Trump in July 2016. George Cottrel was arrested by the FBI and indicted with 21 counts of money laundering, bribery and wire fraud.

Arron Banks and Mr Wigmore seem to have misled parliament and what we need to know is why and it does make you question what side they were on.

In September 2013, Arron Banks was the man that bought Brexit, so was he in trouble?

For two years, financial regulators in Gibraltar had been scrutinising his insurance under-writer, Southern Rock and they’d found it was keeping reserves far below what was needed.

This was a serious dilemma because Arron Banks claimed he’d already provided £40 million to plug the hole and he also told the regulator he’d step down as director but had since been required to find an eye-watering £60 million in additional funding.

A year later, those financial problems seem to have disappeared and Arron Banks had started acquiring diamond mines, investing millions into chemical companies and wealth management firms, setting up loss-making political consultancies and most famous of all, funding the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP).

One question remains though. If Arron Banks was in such a tight spot in September 2013, how did he manage to be so generous the following year?

MPs asked for the police and parliament to examine the links between the millionaire Brexit donor Arron Banks and the Russian government after it surfaced that he’d met the Kremlin’s ambassador in the United Kingdom three times, rather than the once he originally maintained.

With the pressure mounting on Arron Banks to reveal his relationships with Moscow through and after the EU referendum campaign, he faced a deferred hearing before the digital, culture, media and sport (DCMS) select committee, which investigates fraudulent news.

As well as his encounters with the Russian ambassador Alexander Yakovenko, leaked emails revealed that he shared at least one phone number for the Trump transition team with the Russians and he was offered the opportunity to engage in a potentially profitable gold-mining venture in Russia.

The emails further revealed that Arron Banks visited Russia in February 2016 and was invited for a further meeting with another Russian embassy official in August 2016 and Labour MP Stephen Kinnock asked Scotland Yard to launch a criminal investigation based on an in-depth forensic look into the Kremlin connection.

But the murky funding arrangements of the supposed grassroots Leave.EU campaign raises questions about who was paying to influence major constitutional issues.

The funds came from Arron Banks, Wigmore and Tice but that’s all the detail we have and we don’t know if the funds came from overseas. These men do, however, have some impressive connections.

Arron Banks who’s married to Katya, formerly Ekaterina Paderina, a Russian who was married to a Portsmouth seaman twice her age in the 1990’s but was investigated over her allegations of a fake marriage.

She was reportedly spared with the help of the then local MP, Mike “Handy” Hancock, who she described as a nice person. Hancock was then linked to a succession of young Russian ladies, one of whom was accused by MI5 of spying.

The pro-Brexit campaign group, Leave.EU also falsified a viral video and appeared to have staged photos of migrants shortly before the EU referendum, and an investigation by Channel 4 News discovered that pictures purporting to show migrants attacking young women in London appear to have been staged.

The group, backed by businessman Arron Banks, was also behind a fraudulent video, alleging to show how simple it is for migrants to sneak into Britain but in actuality, satellite data shows the men on board had not left UK waters and this shows you, folks, that you can’t believe everything that you see and hear and you can’t ever be certain if its fake rubbish you’re being fed.

The images and video both involved an ex SAS soldier, Jonathan Pollen, who worked for Arron Bank’s corporate intelligence agency and even though the photos were never used, the bogus video went viral, garnering hundreds of thousands of views on Facebook, and reacting to the investigation Arron Banks cited Channel 4 News journalists of generating fake news themselves.

The Metropolitan police took no further action against the Leave.EU campaign for spending offences in the Brexit referendum, despite admitting that it broke the law and in a statement, the Met decided that there was inadequate evidence to support further investigation of the group, which was set up by the insurance businessman Arron Banks.

And they stated that whilst it was apparent that there were some technical breaches of electoral law by Leave.EU in respect of the spending return submitted for their campaign, there was insufficient evidence to justify any further criminal investigation.

It further added that Leave.EU’s responsible person for legal purposes was Liz Bilney, a business associate of Arron Banks but that she would also face no further police action.

The investigation was launched after the Electoral Commission decided in May 2018 that the group had committed multiple breaches of electoral spending law throughout the EU referendum and fined it £70,000.

Arron Banks was also criticised after he appeared to wish harm upon Greta Thunberg as the 16-year-old activist set sail across the Atlantic on a two-week excursion in a zero-carbon yacht.

The contentious Brexit backer warned the teenager that freak yachting accidents do happen in August when he responded to a tweet by Green party MP Caroline Lucas who said Greta Thunberg was carrying an important message to the UN that time was running out to address the climate emergency.

His remarks sparked outrage amongst MPs, celebrities and academics, but he defended the comment in a series of late-night tweets in which he blamed lefties of having no sense of humour.

Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi was amongst the first to reprimand the ex UKIP donor and pay tribute to the work Greta Thunberg had done to boost awareness around the imminent ecological crisis.
